Cardboard Visage Ordering Page
That's right people, they are letting you put a cardboard cutout of yourself in Lane this season.
Although some of us had a head start, thanks to crazies on this site.

I may be in the minority but I love this as a way to support VT atheltics right now. Best to think of it as a donation with a goofy but unique perk.
But remember, if you ask for a refund for the tickets you cannot use, you'll use your Hokie Club status
Clearly the only correct option is asking for a refund and buying this.
don't we have a thread for this already.
now we could potentially have a cardboard cutout of the thread attending games
Lol, upvote.
Hey, where did you get that fathead of yourself? Whoever thought of that is a freaking genius.
I was hoping they'd do this. Will be purchasing a cut out.
need to find a seat that is isolated by a good margin in which to put a cutout of Danny Coale
I kinda prefer the 46 yard line going in. Right about where the camera pans over to see him during the Nebraska game.
Or just have him as the pylons on the chain gang on the home side of the field.
This is pretty cool and a great way to raise some lost money, but have we got an official word whether fans will be allowed to attend. Last I saw Whit said potentiall around 30-36%
If that is the case, who gets allocated the tickets? season ticket holders? students? general admission? And if general admission, who/where do you buy from? ticketmaster? VT ticket site? stubhub? etc.
They haven't updated for LOLUVA. But seeing as how state hasn't changed phases I don't see that number moving much.
I'll only do this if my cardboard image is an accurate representation of my gameday self; hammered and housing a turkey leg
I'll take your picture of you do the heavy lifting
One suggestion: I think the engineering department needs to find a way to make these cutouts jump. I would say that's inventing the future, but we don't do that anymore.
I was thinking they need to come up with some way to hammer/pound the metal bleachers. Maybe thousands of robotic rubber mallets mounted to the bleachers.
All with wifi remotes that are controlled by fans at home.
don't ask how the wifi remotes are connected to our non-wifi having stadium
Time to write some programs so we can make them go insane.
How will reseating work for next year tho? Will my cardboard cutout lose it's seat to "real" fans who asked for a refund for their tickets this year? Will it get the option to renew it's spot if it joins the hokie club?
Can I purchase a second cardboard cutout that is remote controlled from my home to come up only on 3rd down with a set of keys?
Not that this is remotely feasible but how amazing would it be if they had cameras in each seat that you could have the same view from that you would if you were actually there? That is something I would pay for. This? Not so much.
Only if they pipe in audio of the "hike guy" from my section so I get the full effect.
Man... I read that last word wrong... you perv!
For the love of god, please do this behind the away bench
I don't often say, this but this ^^ post is plaid-worthy.
I'm afraid this great ideas would be classified as unsportsmanlike along with Kis him goodbye and stick it in☹️. I love it though!
Has this guy ever been identified?
doesn't matter, can't have other teams branding per the guidelines, but if some one could sneak this in it would be amazing!
He's got an orange shirt.
Just photoshop out the V and it's comedy gold.
Any chance they reject this?
It would be awesome if they gave you a copy to have as well as the one in the stadium.
I would love for this to make an appearance at an appropriate moment
Came here to say this. Need 66k of these pls
I mean, a cardboard cutout of this would look better in my man cave than an narcissistic cutout of myself. I'd do it!
Someone can do Thomas Jefferson for the UVA game right? (Credit to Hokie20 for the picture, I believe)
Edited to add pic of what the cutout should include.
Political?
Edit: OK, with the hat, it's clearly a student, not a politician.
I'll allow it
Need to have this one in the seat next to it.
If it's cardboard will they keep it put away when it rains? Just hope it can last the full season.
They would sell more if fans could pick them up at the end of the year.
He is Vigo!!!
This is a GIF for those who haven't seen it yet.
Spoilsport.
I was wondering when they'd do this.
Does this count toward getting some extra points through the keep jumping campaign?
I'm going to do a few (think I can buy 4). Definitely going to do a TKP "face" on one.
Someone on Twitter (that I cannot mention, because it makes the management here upset), suggested the following, and I thought it was a great idea, but needs some traction.
So what happens in a rain game? Do we have to buy one for every game?
I heard they will put orange ponchos on them if it rains.
They are made of that vinyl type board that is weather safe (for a season).
Love the idea, but my concern is that this indicates they intend to keep fan attendance at a very low minimum throughout the season.
Did you not think that already?
They're petitioning to increase it to 15-20k
No way I see that high. I think we get where they are allowing only students 5-10k plus families of staff and players and box seats in.
1) can you choose where your cut out sits?
2) would anyone be interested in doing a group body paint spelling of "H-O-K-I-E-S"?
Anyone interested in forming a F-U-C-K-M-A-T-T-R-Y-A-N?
Will the cut outs enjoy an improved wi-fi experience? Can my cut out image be of me sipping a glass of bourbon? Can I request a seat in the shade for early season afternoon games?
Seeing as the stadium will be empty, I imagine that the WIFI in Lane will work great, along with the cell service in the area for a change.
"Can my cut out image be of me sipping a glass of bourbon?"
or at least pouring an airplane bottle of bourbon into a souvenir Hokie cup of cola.
I think someone should send a cardboard cutout of Drew Harris.....
Surely they have one in the equipment room already.
Can they mount springs on the base of the cutouts so they move like a bobble head or something?
Cardboard cutouts will still be more lively and more fun fans than LOLUVA has.
To be fair, it's all they've ever had.
I fully agree. When i used the word has, I meant their typical fanbase in a normal season.
I think I might do this. My picture will probably be my avatar, with the key play key and the hokie club key on a keychain.
This isn't a terrible way to contribute to the Hokie club. I'm thinking this is a small way to do my part.
We need one of a uva "fan" reading a book
YES!
If you don't want to have a picture of yourself, seventy bucks to troll an opponent is not a bad investment.
My wife surprised me with one as an early birthday present. I have decided I do not take high quality photos though.
Have a couple thou of these scattered around.
We should include some of Hoo fans that are hinged near the bottom and two-sided so they can flop forward in misery.
Found one of my Bud cutouts
Still looking for this one - I don't think Hokie sports likes the fist!
